Last night, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann had a thought about Pat Robertson’s pronouncements:
When somebody swears in a particular way, we’ve all heard somebody else respond in those situations, “Do not use the name of the Lord in vain.”
I was told by a biblical student that that admonition has been completely misunderstood — that when the Bible says, “Do not use the name of thy Lord God in vain,” it really means, “Don’t be so presumptuous as to claim God told you and only you what He thinks of something.” … Is that not sort of a description of what Pat Robertson’s doing here?
